Paper And Pen Lyrics - Alecia Nugent - Alecia Nugent

There's a letter in a shoe box 

In a dresser she keeps locked 

But she's never read it all the way through 

It was the last one he wrote her 

She was sure it was over 

From all that he told her in the first line or two 

He said times are hard now 

Got some things left to sort out 

And a man in his freedom don't easily part 

That's where she stopped reading 

Her soul was bleeding 

So she choose her weapon and went for his heart 

With paper and pen she got her last words in 

I never loved you was the lie she wrote him 

He couldn't believe the reply he received 

What a sad tragedy for good love to end 

Who needs a knife when you can take someone's life 

With paper and pen 

Well, they say he went crazy 

In just a few days he 

He got on the bottle and went out of his mind 

To this day she don't know 

In the letter that he wrote 

He asked for her hand in the very last line 

With paper and pen she got her last words in 

I never loved you was the lie she wrote him 

He couldn't believe the reply he received 

What a sad tragedy for good love to end 

Who needs a knife when you can take someone's life 

With paper and pen 

Oh, who needs a knife when you can take someone's life 

With paper and pen
